On July 25, 1985, my little brother Benjamin was born. He died three days later. My mother and I never saw him. No ritual, no support. How to mourn someone who barely existed? How to move forward when the dead occupy more space than the living? Thirty-four years later, these questions remain, so I take my camera and open a dialogue with my parents.
Il 25 luglio 1985 nasce Benjamin, il mio fratellino. Muore 3 giorni dopo. Io e mia madre non lo vediamo. Nessun rituale, nessun accompagnamento. Come elaborare il lutto di qualcuno che è appena esistito? Come andare avanti quando i morti occupano più spazio dei vivi? 34 anni dopo, queste domande si pongono ancora, così prendo la mia videocamera e apro un dialogo con i miei genitori.
